| greenmang0 | can anybody here tell me the procedure to "fsck" an "lvm" partition using "live cd" ? | 10:01 |
| greenmang0 | filesystem has errors on it ... but then i mount it using live cd ... e2fsck says that it's clean | 10:02 |
| patdk-lap | don't mount it, just fsck it | 10:07 |
| patdk-lap | e2fsck -f /dev/.... | 10:08 |
| greenmang0 | patdk-lap, yes... tried that ... it still says "clean" | 10:10 |
| patdk-lap | using -f? | 10:10 |
| greenmang0 | patdk-lap, yes ... -fv | 10:10 |
| patdk-lap | -f is suppost to make it check, even if it's clean | 10:11 |
| patdk-lap | so it must really be clean then | 10:11 |
| patdk-lap | why do you think it's broken? | 10:11 |
| greenmang0 | patdk-lap, but if i boot system and run "e2fsck -n /dev/mapper/foobar" it says partition has errors | 10:11 |
| patdk-lap | you did mount the lvm right? | 10:11 |
| greenmang0 | patdk-lap, what happens is the file system suddenly becomes "read-only" after few days of uptime and some files become inaccessible | 10:12 |
| greenmang0 | patdk-lap, rebooting solve the issue temporarily ... | 10:12 |
| patdk-lap | heh, I had that happen only once | 10:12 |
| greenmang0 | and i keep getting some "ata" errors on login screen | 10:13 |
| patdk-lap | it was my laptops intel wifi driver doing it, corrupting ext3 somehow | 10:13 |
| patdk-lap | upgraded the driver, and all is good | 10:13 |
| greenmang0 | patdk-lap, how can i find the root cause? | 10:13 |
| patdk-lap | no idea | 10:13 |
| patdk-lap | I solved it by chance, kindof, by removing parts of the computer, and trying again | 10:14 |
| patdk-lap | till it didn't corrupt the filesystem | 10:14 |
| greenmang0 | patdk-lap, ok | 10:14 |
| patdk-lap | for me, I couldn't even do an install, cause it would get corrupted that quickly | 10:14 |
| patdk-lap | so it provided a pretty quick reliable way to tell | 10:15 |
| jforman | hi all. is there an easy way to convert a ubuntu 10.04 server LTS release to standard 11.04 server? without blowing it away and reinstalling from scratch | 11:34 |
| alamar | dist-upgrade to 10.10 and then to 11.04 | 11:37 |
| jforman | thats what i suspected, just wasnt sure. maverick was the option i was given when trying a 'do-release-upgrade -d'. | 11:38 |
| === zz_ng_ is now known as ng_ | ||
| alamar | jforman: that's what the release notes of 11.04 suggest. (to be more precise they refer to the upgrade notes for maverick) | 11:39 |
| === ng_ is now known as zz_ng_ | ||

| sajkaca | hi. i have 6 hds and i want to make raid 5. how to set up partitions? | 13:33 |
| RoyK | sajkaca: no need for partitions | 13:33 |
| RoyK | sajkaca: have you created a raid with mdadm? | 13:33 |
| sajkaca | i m doing a fresh install. i set up raid 1 for /boot partition and then raid 5 and lvm /, swap and storage | 13:35 |
| sajkaca | it doesnt work grup cant be installed so i think i did something wrong | 13:35 |
| sajkaca | grub* | 13:35 |
| RoyK | I'd recommend using separate drives for root/boot with raid-1/mirrors | 13:36 |
| RoyK | then use the remaining drives, equally sized, for a raid-5 (or raid-6 if you're paranoid) for the data | 13:36 |
| RoyK | smallish 2,5" drives are good if space is an issue | 13:37 |
| sajkaca | 4 drives will not be enough for storage i need more. so i have to do 6 hds for raid. only boot is the problem | 13:42 |
| sajkaca | becose it wont work. and i read on google that there is some ishues with ubuntu raid 5 etc.. so i need howto that the system will work fine | 13:42 |
| ubunteo | hi everyone. | 13:50 |
| ubunteo | how are you ?? | 13:50 |
| ubunteo | do we need public IP to build webserver to be accessed anywhere from internet ? | 13:57 |
| RoyK | sajkaca: the problem with mixed raid setup is when something fails - get some small drives for the root - you can probably find some small drives from ebay for close to nothing - for example http://www.ebay.com/itm/40GB-5400RPM-2-5-SATA-Serial-ATA-Laptop-Hard-Drive-HDD-/260833948384?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cbaea32e0 | 14:03 |
| RoyK | ubunteo: yes | 14:03 |
| RoyK | ubunteo: either a public IP or some nat magick | 14:04 |
| ubunteo | ok. | 14:04 |

| ubunteo | why can't GIMP or others can't be exactly the same like Photoshop? | 14:11 |
| RoyK | "why can't linux be exactly the same as windows?" | 14:11 |
| ubunteo | wine is odd | 14:12 |
| RoyK | ubunteo: there are sets of shortcuts out there to mimic photoshop | 14:12 |
| RoyK | ubunteo: they're separate systems, with separate goals, so they're bound to be different | 14:12 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: I mean other features like addons and brushes and actions. | 14:12 |
| RoyK | and Adobe has been in this for years and gimp is still rather new in comparison | 14:13 |
| RoyK | ubunteo: /j #gimp | 14:13 |
| RoyK | it's not really an ubuntu server issue :P | 14:13 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: the sad thing is OSS community can't create absolute alternative to Windows' Active Directory. even SAMBA LDAP can't resemble windows exactly the same features | 14:14 |
| RoyK | samba4 does | 14:14 |
| RoyK | but then, it's not finished | 14:14 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: I want to stop using Windows AD . it is waste of money | 14:14 |
| RoyK | and, btw, samba isn't an acronym | 14:15 |
| RoyK | just a name derived from SMB (server message block, the windoze file sharing protocol) | 14:15 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: may be a rumor or I dont know. there would be ubuntu directory services. how is that status to totally replace windows AD ? | 14:15 |
| RoyK | ubunteo: samba4 supports acting as an AD controller | 14:16 |
| RoyK | it's still in alpha, though (IIRC). See http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4 for more info | 14:17 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: actually Novell Directory Service eDirectory can totally replace or do same feature like windows AD for most common daily routines for users of windows. why ubuntu can't ? | 14:17 |
| RoyK | hm... seems it's left alpha | 14:17 |
| RoyK | NDS is closed source | 14:18 |
| * RoyK is an old NetWare Master CNE :D | 14:18 | |
| RoyK | ubunteo: but then, openldap and samba can do a few things | 14:19 |
| RoyK | with samba4, it'll be far easier to implement windows integration | 14:19 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: I know it is dead end technology according to the whole world though I don't know exactly why. But installiing novell clients for widnows on each windows computer, it can communicate well with Novell eDirectory | 14:19 |
| RoyK | I know | 14:20 |
| RoyK | NDS is kickass technology compared to AD | 14:20 |
| RoyK | AD is merely a smart extension of the old winnt domains | 14:20 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: I would like to get the same feature with ubuntu servers at back end and windows clients at front end | 14:20 |
| RoyK | NDS is a distributed catalog service | 14:20 |
| RoyK | well, for windows, you either need an NDS client, or AD support | 14:21 |
| RoyK | AFAIK windows doesn't support LDAP logins | 14:21 |
| RoyK | and I doubt mickysoft will add that, since by then, there'll be less need for AD | 14:21 |
| RoyK | ubunteo: try samba4 | 14:22 |
| RoyK | you'll need to compile it from source, though, but it might be worth a try if you're eager to kick out M$ servers | 14:22 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: but making samba can directly talk to windows and for over exceeded quantity of users that samba can't handle, samba server should connect to LDAP server to handle. I read that on one article | 14:23 |
| RoyK | erm... I didn't quite understand that - what do you mean? | 14:24 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: I have to convince management before we decide to use ubuntu instead of costly windows. This is reform. I would like to make sure all before hand. | 14:24 |
| RoyK | keep your AD controller and use Samba for fileservers | 14:25 |
| RoyK | samba can join AD easily | 14:25 |
| RoyK | using samba4 in production would be silly | 14:25 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: I don't want to see MS stuffs anymore. I dn't want install antivirus and other related problems | 14:25 |
| RoyK | ubunteo: are your clients running windows? | 14:26 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: yes. all clients are windows.. all servers are novell. I am now in the middle of nowhere to migrate to ubuntu or windows servers for the backend deployment | 14:26 |
| RoyK | ok, so you're using netware and NDS? | 14:27 |
| RoyK | currently, there's no good open source replacement for AD or NDS | 14:29 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: yes. Groupwise. Border Manager | 14:29 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: oh. that sucks . that is why linux still can't beat Microsoft | 14:29 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: ok thanks a lot. let me stop. | 14:30 |
| RoyK | well, linux is a bit more than windows integration - last I checked, linux was the most used OS for web services and more | 14:30 |
| RoyK | ubunteo: btw | 14:30 |
| RoyK | ubunteo: I think there might be an LDAP login plugin available for win | 14:30 |
| RoyK | haven't tried it, though | 14:30 |
| ubunteo | is there anyone who is using inventory software to record IT stocks like toners, cartridges and CDs, DVDs cosume and refill ? | 14:31 |
| ubunteo | As I am looking for inventory software for non-profit organizations. There is no sales or linking to accounts in this inventory software. | 14:32 |
| RoyK | no idea, but I guess there are dozens of packages available for that | 14:40 |
| RoyK | google for it | 14:40 |
| ubunteo | RoyK: I checked sf.net. most are network based tracing serials network cards .bla bla. I just want pure IT stocks recordiing no sales included | 14:45 |

| KM0201 | oh no, id idn't do that.. lol | 16:40 |
| KM0201 | click the link on the bug report, and read his description of his "bug" (i think the bigger problem is between his ears) | 16:40 |
| * patdk-lap wonders what exactly is a mini-sas card | 16:41 | |
| mfraz74 | i'm running kubuntu 11.10 on a netbook, it's looking good, but i wouldn't trust it on my main machine yet | 16:41 |
| patdk-lap | I know sas and sata, but haven't seen anything called mini | 16:41 |
| mfraz74 | is the card mini? | 16:41 |
| patdk-lap | dunno, that would be called lowprofile | 16:42 |
| KM0201 | i've always heard it called a mini-sas card.. maybe i named it improperly | 16:42 |
| KM0201 | sas is appropriat ei'm sure.. i think mini just describes the card | 16:42 |
| mfraz74 | http://www.saverstore.com/product/20070396/7725665/HP-Smart-Array-P410-256-SAS-Controller-Card-PCIe-X8-8-port--2x-Internal-Mini-SAS-4x-Connector- | 16:42 |
| patdk-lap | sas lp card :), low profile sas hba, to be more exact | 16:42 |
| KM0201 | i'm int he US, and second, i don't wanna spend that much, that's a little insane. | 16:43 |
| patdk-lap | oh, the mini-sas in that refers to the sff-8087 ports | 16:43 |
| mfraz74 | it was a bit expensive, i've found another for £23 :) | 16:43 |
| mfraz74 | i was just using it as an example of mini-sas cards | 16:44 |
| KM0201 | ok.. let me explain what i want.. i think its sff 8087.... i want a raid card, that has 2 ports, that will allow me to run 8 drives, w/ a cable like this.. http://www.amazon.com/Adaptec-2236600-R-Internal-Mini-SASX4-SFF-8087/dp/B000GU04X2 | 16:44 |
| patdk-lap | I think some call it mini-sas compared to the sff-8484 conector | 16:44 |
| KM0201 | ok. | 16:45 |
| patdk-lap | looks like your getting a highpoint then | 16:46 |
| patdk-lap | if you want cost effective | 16:46 |
| patdk-lap | otherwise probably go with an lsi | 16:46 |
| KM0201 | well cost effective would be nice. | 16:46 |
| patdk-lap | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816115079 | 16:46 |
| KM0201 | i'd like to keep it between 90-150 US (not sure on your idea of cost effective) | 16:46 |
| patdk-lap | you want a raid card for <200? | 16:46 |
| KM0201 | i did't think that seemed htat unusual. | 16:47 |
| patdk-lap | your asking for fakeraid, and they don't make fakeraid sas | 16:47 |
| KM0201 | patdk-lap: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816115096 | 16:48 |
| KM0201 | patdk-lap: if i'm looking at that card correctly, it should support 8 drives (2 ports, 4 drives each) | 16:49 |
| patdk-lap | it does | 16:49 |
| patdk-lap | but the firmware on that card isn't that great | 16:49 |
| KM0201 | why would that be a concern?... | 16:50 |
| patdk-lap | you don't know how to read the feedback section? | 16:50 |
| patdk-lap | or do your own research about stuff before you buy? | 16:50 |
| KM0201 | actually, i didn't even notice it had a feedback tab..lol | 16:50 |
| KM0201 | yes, i research before i buy, i was just posting that one as an example. | 16:50 |
| patdk-lap | if you look, only highpoints are <200 | 16:51 |
| KM0201 | yeah | 16:51 |
| KM0201 | i know high point makes a crap firearm, so maybe thats an omen.. :) | 16:52 |
| patdk-lap | well, some of their stuff isn't | 16:52 |
| KM0201 | their pistols. | 16:52 |
| patdk-lap | maybe they will be like ati was | 16:52 |
| KM0201 | some of their rifles get rave reviews (but i have no experience w/ those) | 16:52 |
| patdk-lap | I refused to get an ati video card cause the drivers where always crashing systems | 16:52 |
| KM0201 | yeah | 16:53 |
| KM0201 | patdk-lap: how is intel usually?... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816117157 | 16:56 |
| patdk-lap | intel is just relabled lsi | 16:57 |
| KM0201 | that should do what i want i think | 16:57 |
| patdk-lap | ya | 16:57 |
| KM0201 | now just to see how solid it's linux support is | 16:58 |
| patdk-lap | hmm? lsi has always been making linux drivers | 16:58 |
| patdk-lap | never had an issue | 16:58 |
| KM0201 | are they "plug n play" or do you have to compile the driver? | 16:59 |
| patdk-lap | plugnplay | 16:59 |
| patdk-lap | just have to download the management software from their website | 16:59 |
| KM0201 | is that really necessary? | 17:00 |
| patdk-lap | if you want to fix the raid without taking the whole system down? yes | 17:00 |
| KM0201 | sounds like its necessary.. :) | 17:00 |
| patdk-lap | or see if a drive failed, without depending on led's | 17:00 |
| KM0201 | yeah.. | 17:01 |
| KM0201 | how does the mgmt software work? | 17:01 |
| patdk-lap | pretty simple | 17:01 |
| patdk-lap | looks just like the bios interface | 17:01 |
| patdk-lap | atleast for the ones I have | 17:01 |
| KM0201 | hmm, so do you run it via SSH, or.. ? | 17:02 |
| patdk-lap | yep | 17:02 |
| KM0201 | i see. | 17:02 |
| KM0201 | that seems like it would be the easiest way. | 17:03 |
| KM0201 | maybe i should up my budget a bit, and not "shortchange" this one | 17:03 |
| KM0201 | software raid is working OK, but i only have 6 ports, and have 8 bays... but.. right now i don't need all 6 ports. | 17:11 |
| KM0201 | patdk-lap: question about software raid (i'm kinda new to this)... say one of my drives borks out.. 1. how do i know, and 2, is easy to add a new drive to the array? | 17:11 |
| patdk-lap | ask mdadm | 17:12 |
| KM0201 | mdadm? | 17:12 |
| KM0201 | hmm | 17:13 |
| KM0201 | i see where you're going | 17:13 |
| KM0201 | unfortunately a lot of that is greek to me | 17:14 |
| qman__ | KM0201, cat /proc/mdstat (or set it up to email you), and yes, it's easy | 17:23 |
| qman__ | install new drive, partition it, then add it to the array with mdadm | 17:23 |
| KM0201 | yeah, i just found a lnk, http://www.howtoforge.com/replacing_hard_disks_in_a_raid1_array | 17:24 |
| KM0201 | i guess my bigger question, is how to tell which drive is bad.. | 17:24 |
| KM0201 | i'm gonna try it in vbox, see if i run into a problem | 17:24 |
| qman__ | the way I tell is with smartctl | 17:24 |
| KM0201 | smartctl? | 17:25 |
| qman__ | it tells you the serial number when you smartctl -a /dev/sd? | 17:25 |
| qman__ | which is printed on the label | 17:25 |
| KM0201 | ohok. | 17:25 |
| qman__ | also, it's often too late when the drive actually drops out of the array | 17:25 |
| qman__ | I use smartd to email me on bad sectors | 17:26 |
| KM0201 | wha tdo you mean "to late".. if i'm using raid 1.. there should be a mirror on the other drive. | 17:26 |
| qman__ | I lost an 8 disk raid 5 that way, three drives failed in one day | 17:26 |

| KM0201 | but wiith raid 1, i have a mirror of the drive, so it shouldn't be as big an issue, right? | 17:27 |
| qman__ | unless your two drives are like my three | 17:27 |
| qman__ | and you can't replace it before the second fails | 17:27 |
| KM0201 | this is true. | 17:27 |
| qman__ | it's more likely than you think, unfortunately | 17:27 |
| qman__ | I've already replaced two drives with bad sectors on my new array | 17:28 |
| KM0201 | unfortunately, this isn't very easy to test in vbox apparently | 17:29 |
| KM0201 | i know what i can do.. | 17:30 |
| KM0201 | i can just remove one of the drives in the vbox settings | 17:31 |
| qman__ | you can mark a drive as failed with an mdadm command | 17:31 |
| KM0201 | well, i'm assuming i "miss" that the drive is failed, that sall. | 17:31 |

| Kainore | Hello i hope there is a good soul in here there can help me resovle a problem of mine im using vsftpd on my ubuntu server 11,04 and can connect with out problem in filezilla in my privet network but | 17:52 |
| Kainore | when i try to do it on the public ip i get user and pass sent in but dont get my file catalog | 17:53 |
| Kainore | it say "time out" | 17:53 |
| qman__ | yes | 17:53 |
| qman__ | that is a limitation of FTP | 17:53 |
| qman__ | one end must not be behind a NAT | 17:53 |
| qman__ | since almost every client is behind NAT these days, your server cannot be, or it must be worked around in your firewall | 17:54 |
| qman__ | opening anywhere from several to thousands of ports | 17:54 |
| Kainore | so becouse my nat is has port forwarding i still will have problem? | 17:54 |
| qman__ | for more details: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie | 17:55 |
| Kainore | thank you alot | 17:55 |
| qman__ | it's possible, just difficult | 17:55 |
| qman__ | and doesn't make a lot of sense when SFTP is in every way better | 17:55 |
| Kainore | thanks i will check it out you have helped alot allready now im siting with some idea's to solve it that i diden have before | 17:57 |
| BrixSat | hello :) | 18:12 |
| josePhoenix | Userdel won't remove a user if they're logged in.. how can I force logout a user? Would killall -u username work? | 18:12 |
| BrixSat | does any one here have a git repository server | 18:13 |
| BrixSat | i would need a tut to point me in the right way | 18:14 |
| josePhoenix | Any tricks for setting umask? I have a group writable directory, and I want users who create files in there to make them group-writable | 18:54 |
| josePhoenix | Since the purpose of these user accounts is only to edit files in said group directory, would it be okay to add "umask u=rwx,g=rwx,o=" in their bashrc? | 18:56 |
| KM0201 | is there a way to make ubuntu continue to boot, despite a failed disk on the raid? I keep getting a "press S or M" (skip or repair manually).. if the server is headless, obviously i won't know this when its powering up. | 19:03 |
| BrixSat | yes you can fix that | 19:04 |
| KM0201 | ii know how to fix the drive, i just don't want ubuntu to halt on that error. | 19:04 |
| BrixSat | i had that problems a few months ago and i fixed it in fstab | 19:04 |
| KM0201 | ok.. | 19:04 |
| KM0201 | let me bring it back up then take a look at fstab. | 19:05 |
| qman__ | yeah, it halts boot on a degraded array by default | 19:05 |
| KM0201 | yeah, i want to turn that off. | 19:05 |
| qman__ | raid 1 is about the only situation you'd want to continue | 19:05 |
| KM0201 | i use raid 1. | 19:06 |
| KM0201 | :_) | 19:06 |
| qman__ | it's entirely possible, I just don't know where the setting is | 19:06 |
| KM0201 | i'm guessing in fstab, i'll check in a second | 19:06 |
| KM0201 | cuz since i can't SSH while its booting, obviously i wouldn't be able to see that error, and know there's a problem. | 19:07 |
| orated | Hello, can anyone guide me to achieve this on desktop, please - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/ShareEthernetConnectionThroughWireless?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=ICS2.jpeg ? | 19:07 |
| KM0201 | orated: so.. you have two routers? | 19:08 |
| KM0201 | hmm, wait maybe not. | 19:08 |
| RoyK | orated: simple matter of iptables nat thing | 19:09 |
| qman__ | or bridge your interfaces | 19:09 |
| KM0201 | yup. | 19:09 |
| orated | I recently got Dell XPS 15 laptop which allows to connect to WiFi and also LAN | 19:10 |
| orated | I've never tried , so not sure | 19:10 |
| josePhoenix | Hmm | 19:10 |
| josePhoenix | I guess I'll set the umask in their bash profile | 19:11 |
| orated | Can anyone lnk me to some documentation for this? | 19:11 |
| orated | KM0201: How can I confirm you if I've two routers or not? | 19:13 |
| KM0201 | you'd see them in your house. | 19:13 |
| KM0201 | but i don't think thats what you're trying to do. | 19:13 |
| orated | I have only one DSL | 19:13 |
| orated | I mean D-Link modem which allows me to connect to LAN | 19:14 |
| orated | I've primarily connect to LAN but wish to share internet making system like a WiFi hotspot to other WiFi enabled devices at home | 19:15 |
| KM0201 | BrixSat: what did you add to fstab, to make that stop happening, i tried "nobootwait".. which didn't do the trick. | 19:15 |
| orated | I read its called internet connection sharing or masquerade, if I'm right | 19:15 |
| josePhoenix | Hmm | 19:15 |
| josePhoenix | /etc/profile is maintained by the package manager, right? | 19:15 |
| josePhoenix | I can't override the umask in there because it'll cause conflicts when updating | 19:16 |
| josePhoenix | and I can't put it in /etc/profile.d/ because the umask line is the last one in /etc/profile | 19:16 |
| orated | RoyK: qman__: Can you guide me on bridgin interfaces? Or iptables can do what I want to try? | 19:17 |
| qman__ | apt-get install bridge-utils | 19:17 |
| qman__ | edit /etc/network/interfaces as root | 19:17 |
| qman__ | add a bridge interface like so: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man5/bridge-utils-interfaces.5.html | 19:18 |
| KM0201 | anybody interested, post#2 did the trick.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1652587 | 19:19 |
| orated | qman__: And, will it affect when I'm using WiFi? | 19:20 |
| qman__ | done right, all it will do is bridge your wifi to your ethernet | 19:20 |
| qman__ | so configuring your wifi won't affect it | 19:20 |
| qman__ | set up ad-hoc to get the computers connected, or connect to an AP when you're elsewhere | 19:21 |
| orated | AP? | 19:21 |
| qman__ | access point | 19:21 |
| orated | ad-hoc works only for connecting computers? It will not work for wifi enabled devices? | 19:22 |
| qman__ | it will work for any wifi device | 19:23 |
| qman__ | the difference is AP mode is a router providing internet access in the traditional way, ad-hoc is multiple 'client' devices just talking to each other | 19:23 |
| qman__ | you're technically providing internet to an ad-hoc network | 19:23 |
| orated | ad-hoc works only for connecting computers? It will not work for wifi enabled devices?? | 19:25 |
| orated | er | 19:25 |
| orated | But how is bridging helping to create an ad-hoc network | 19:25 |
| qman__ | it isn't | 19:26 |
| orated | Sorry, fingers slipped on arrow keys when pressing return,.. | 19:27 |
| orated | ah-ok | 19:27 |
| qman__ | bridging brings your working internet connection to the ad-hoc wireless network | 19:27 |
| qman__ | so other clients on the ad-hoc can get to the net | 19:27 |
| orated | So, how do I create ad-hoc network? | 19:27 |
| qman__ | probably through network manager | 19:27 |
| qman__ | beyond the scope of this channel, but first google hit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc | 19:28 |
| orated | I'm sorry for being offtopic. I'm completely beginner on this, so, well.. I'll read more on it. Thank you. | 19:30 |

| CrazyGir | hello! I have someone working remotely on a server who is unable to boot properly. I need to get into the system with a chroot, and we have a rescue cd, but the rescue env did not seem capable of figuring out the LVM setup | 22:43 |
| CrazyGir | is the rescue env aware of LVM and capable of working with it to mount the root fs? | 22:43 |
| tohuw | besides the lower values for GIDs, what is the functional difference between a system group (i.e., a group created with the --system option) and a non-system group? | 22:44 |
| CrazyGir | while I'm not 100% sure, I would hope ubuntu was playing smart and putting extra restrictions on the system user/group | 22:45 |
| CrazyGir | not sure though | 22:45 |
| CrazyGir | ddg it? | 22:45 |
| CrazyGir | (duckduckgo.com) | 22:46 |
| tohuw | I've searched around, nothing relevant has come up. Groups, unlike users, don't have explicit extra permissions based on their ID, so I'm not sure what restrictions would be needed for a group, other than making usre it has a unique GID | 22:52 |
| CrazyGir | well, there are also login limits, like max files and such | 22:53 |
| CrazyGir | but yea, I don't know | 22:53 |
| CrazyGir | tohuw: as ubuntu is based on debian, maybe #debian as something to say | 22:53 |
